MacDowell—Creative Crucible for Art and Artists

In summer 2012, we travel to New England to visit MacDowell, a New Hampshire retreat for artists, writers, and composers. We're among hundreds of visitors gathered on Medal Day, August 12, 2012, to honor contemporary photographer Nan Goldin. After a picnic on the great lawn, we spend the afternoon following forest trails to the cabin studios of summer Fellows. Kyla Chevrier, West Moss, Bettina Johae, Kate Moore, and Sebastian Currier take turns describing their MacDowell experiences.
